The Let's Get Real Podcast with Rob Lundberg: Let's Get Real About the Accusation of Christmas Being a Pagan Holiday
I am sure that every one of us, somewhere along the lines, has heard from some well-meaning individuals rail out, “with all sincerity, that we have no business celebrating Christmas, since the Bible gives no date for Christ’s birth? But is Christmas as we know it really a pagan holiday? On The Let's Get Real Podcast with Rob Lundberg, Rob answers this question, revisiting an objection that came from back in 2007's movie blockbuster The Davinci Code. In response to the pontification of Dr. Lee Teabing, Rob present two responses.
First Rob points to the usage of festivals and holidays in the Old Testament and their purpose in worship for the nation of Israel. He then points out that anyone wanting to render day “off limits” because a pagan holiday already in existence on that date, there would not be many days left to celebrate anything. Pointing to Romans 14 and Colossians 2:17, Rob helps the listener understand where the apostle Paul gives his readers encouragement on the use of exercising the Christian conscience on matters that are not condemned.
The length of this show is just under 30 minutes but it is packed with information and a resource that Rob mentioned quickly about the coming "alignment" of two planets forming the alleged star of Bethlehem. Rob gives a quick answer and points to a resource that you will want to go to for more extensive information, Marcia Montenegro's Christian Answers for the New Age website speaking to the issues in today's show.
Opening and Closing Music from The Go Fish Guys, It's Called Christmas with a Capital "C" with Christian comedian Brad Stine. Grab your note pad and your Bible and listen to this information packed show.
